The act of living in Zimbabwe is something of a gamble at the current time, so you could envision that there would be little affinity for supporting Zimbabwe’s casinos. Actually, it appears to be working the other way around, with the critical economic conditions creating a bigger ambition to gamble, to attempt to locate a quick win, a way out of the situation.

For almost all of the people subsisting on the meager local earnings, there are 2 popular styles of gambling, the state lotto and Zimbet. Just as with almost everywhere else in the world, there is a national lottery where the chances of winning are extremely tiny, but then the winnings are also unbelievably large. It’s been said by economists who understand the concept that most do not buy a card with an actual assumption of hitting. Zimbet is based on one of the national or the English soccer divisions and involves determining the results of future games.

Zimbabwe’s casinos, on the other hand, pander to the extremely rich of the society and vacationers. Up till a short time ago, there was a extremely big tourist industry, based on nature trips and trips to Victoria Falls. The economic collapse and connected crime have cut into this trade.

Among Zimbabwe’s gambling dens, there are 2 in the capital, Harare, the Carribea Bay Resort and Casino, which has 5 gaming tables and slot machines, and the Plumtree Casino, which has only slots. The Zambesi Valley Hotel and Entertainment Center in Kariba also has just slot machines. Mutare contains the Monclair Hotel and Casino and the Leopard Rock Hotel and Casino, both of which contain gaming tables, slots and video poker machines, and Victoria Falls has the Elephant Hills Hotel and Casino and the Makasa Sun Hotel and Casino, the two of which has slot machines and table games.

In addition to Zimbabwe’s casinos and the aforementioned alluded to lottery and Zimbet (which is very like a parimutuel betting system), there are a total of two horse racing tracks in the country: the Matabeleland Turf Club in Bulawayo (the second city) and the Borrowdale Park in Harare.

Seeing as that the economy has diminished by more than 40 percent in recent years and with the connected deprivation and crime that has come to pass, it is not known how well the sightseeing industry which is the backbone of Zimbabwe’s casinos will do in the in the years to come. How many of them will carry through until conditions improve is simply not known.
